“Though I graduated from an associates degree program, I felt that my instructors provided me with the and theory and knowledge as those students completing their bachelors degree program in clinical laboratory science,” Mishak added

“ When I started my clinical rotations at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, I felt that my formal education at DCCC prepared me to succeed at every challenge that I faced. After a year of working as a medical laboratory technician at the children's health care in Atlanta, he was promoted to Hematology Analytical specialist position. This involves oversight of the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytometry sections of the laboratory

If You Will

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from DCCC to be accepted into physician assistant’s school. In August 2011, Mishak will begin studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physician’s assistant. He says DCCC prepared him well to transfer to Winston-Salem State University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science in 2004. Since then, he has worked in the lab at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. “I learned pretty much everything that I need to know about laboratory at DCCC. Many of the clinical application that I learned there I still use today in either my medical volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties in my current job, which includes training new technologists on cell identification,” said Mishak. It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, it’s not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time, it’s as simple as that. If students aren’t willing to study now, it will be very difficult to develop this habit later on. Therefore, I suggest that students work hard in their studies and being good people, doing nothing will get them in trouble during school. By doing so, they will enjoy succeeding during high school and throughout their lifetime

Student Success Statement

“There is no happiness in sin, and when we depart from

The path of righteousness we begin to do these things

Which will inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery

and loss of freedom”

N Eldon Tamer

This quote by Tamer is trying to get people from choosing the wrong. He believes that if you do choose to do wrong you will become miserable. You will never find happiness in choosing the wrong. The loss of freedom could mean something like jail or loss of rights. If you want to avoid all the troubles that come from doing wrong then, choose the right and do good.

Andrea Packer anticipates graduating with a B.A in education from Catawba in 2011 and then enrolling in the masters of Arts in teaching program from Salem College, also offered in the Davison Campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood Education program.

“Not only did receiving this scholarship make me study harder and be the best I could be, but it also allowed me to graduate in May 2010 with my associates degree totally paid for,” she said. “I couldn’t believe that I had my first degree, and I was debt free. What a wonderfully blessing.”

If students work hard during high school, complete all assignments on time, and demonstrate a bright positive attitude towards school, learning, and other people, then they can be highly successful as a high school student and qualify for academic scholarships also. All they need to do is put in the time, study time. All the hard work and effort out during high school will definitively pay off. They will be rewarded for their hard work. But if they just mess around during their high school years and neglect their studies, use drugs, and mistreat others, then they can expect to fall short of what they could have been their rewards of scholarships and other opportunities, and they will suffer in the short and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can: Write your own student success story

Andrea Packer – without the prestigious DCCC presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Packer, a 2010 DCCC honor graduate, says she doubts she would already be pursuing her baccalaureate degree from Catawba College. “I cannot say thank you enough to whomever paid for my education, and I am going to continue to do my best to make them happy that they invested in me,” she said.

Since August 2010, Packer, 20, has been working towards her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Catawba College, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCC’s Davison Campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, Statistics, and education courses.

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough”, said Watkins. A 21 year old who works in teams with her classmates in problems. Based on nursing experiences, “I learned that everyone has different strengths and brings something different to the table.” I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

Watkins is a May 2012 candidate to receive her associate’s degree in nursing. She hopes to peruse her B.S.N at Winston-Salem State University and eventually gets her master’s degree in nursing.

How to always succeed in School

Part 1

Any people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the faculty of discriminations, becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent on others. When we study the four functions of the mind—buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness, ego, the principle of identity, chitta, the store house of impressions, and the manas, the importer and exporter of sensations and experience—then we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is something within us that comes forward and says, “Do this. It will be helpful to you.” Training the internal functions helps us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without which we cannot be successful. Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about. If you think about nothing you will become nothing. If you think about becoming a great student you will become a great student. If you think about being honest you will become honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life

Shooting at a night club

In Arizona Police caught a criminal and were looking for two others after a shooting near a night club. There was a total of 14 people wounded one of which was shot in the foot. Now of them had life threatening injuries and 12 of them only had minor injuries.

Reflection

This even must have been a tragic experience for all the people there. However this could have been avoided if they simply did not go to a night club. There are many bad things that go on in a night club and the smartest thing to do is to avoid them completely. Other than that it is a good thing that there was no loss of life.

· Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. But they always say, “Well, I knew it. I understood the key, but did not act in time.” Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a word of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same thing we are. So if we do not decide on time, someone else will attain what we want. Time is valuable in the external world. A tender bamboo can be easily bent, but if we try to bend a mature bamboo, it will break. That which we have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a set backs if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.

 · We must learn from success and mistakes of others. We must see another student succeeding greatly and honorable, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after their’s. Also, on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserably, learn how they do it and avoid doing what they do or else you will join them in their failings. · Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waste valuable time.

The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decision—how to make decisions on time. The most successful person is the person that knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinary brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when the time comes to make a decision, when opportunities comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide

What I will do to graduate high school

High school is a very important place to attend for any person. It teaches us skills that we will need later in our adult life. If you do well in high school then you are prepared to go to college and university. From there you can get the career you want. High school is basically the foundation to all the things later in your life. That is why graduating high school should be one of the top priorities of any student. One of the most important things to do is to never give up even when you feel like you have to. There might be times when you feel it is much easier to just drop out and get a job. Remember though taking the easy road isn’t always the best choice, and that applies to this. If you feel that you are having trouble with a subject even when you are trying your hardest, remember that it is ok to seek help. It is ok for you to go to after school tutoring and to ask your teacher questions.

 Now one important thing you can do that will greatly increase your chance of doing well in a class is having a schedule for each class. In there you write down what you did for the day, the objectives, and your homework. You can also get ahead by reading ahead some pages of your text book. Remember that homework is important it gives you practice for what you learned in class. This is especially true in math classes, where every problem will be different and homework exposes you to the many different types of problems.

Below are a list of important things to do to make sure you graduate

1.     Do your homework

2.     Ask questions

3.     Have you supplies

4.     Seek help when needed

5.     Be responsible and study.

How to succeed in school

Get organized

Use good study habits

Learn how to take tests

Believe in yourself

Some experts say that the difference between good students and poor students isn't mainly ability. Instead, it is how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get organized

Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and always carry it.

Ask teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

Use scribbler to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

Have phone numbers for classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy”. This is someone in your class who collects home works and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

Ask questions when you are unsure of something

Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said, it will be easier to absorb the information that is being presented to you.

Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kit-bag neat. Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper)
